Infinium T is a Titanium Nitride based coating. Titanium Nitride was the first commercially available hard coating on the market. It took almost a decade to gain acceptance and has proven to be useful to this day. Although PVD Titanium Nitride has become a commodity coating, there are still many differences in the quality of the coatings among suppliers. It has a beautiful gold color and is very hard and wear resistant.

Infinium T Applications

For applications such as medical instruments or injection molds, the consistency, abrasion resistance, and quality will be most important, while for commodity drills and decorative applications the lowest price per piece may dictate the coating specifications.

Cutting Tools:

  • Infinium T is an excellent choice for the machining of ferrous materials.
  • Significant tooling lifetime improvements can be found for unalloyed and softer irons and steels (Rc<32).

Forming Tools:

  • Infinium T provides forming tools such as punches and dies with a hard and lubricious surface.

Molds/Forming Tools:

  • Infinium T is also a good release and abrasion-resistant coating for plastic injection molding applications.

Medical:

  • Infinium T is a biocompatible coating that has been approved for use in implants and surgical devices.
  • In addition to improving wear resistance, it can also make sterilization and cleaning easier.

General:

  • Infinium T is a general-purpose coating that can reduce abrasive and adhesive wear.
  • Its brilliant color also makes it a good candidate for decorative applications.
